Peter Philips, the Creative and Image Director of Dior Makeup,
celebrates a color-loaded spring season by revisiting the “gradient
makeup” trend in the Colour Gradation collection, embodied by the model Lindsey Wixson, the House's newest beauty looks ambassador.

Discover the two healthy shades Rising Pink 002 and Radiant Nude 001 of Diorskin Nude Air Colour Gradation from the Spring Collection 2017.

The principle of “gradient makeup”? Clashing colors and fading shades to
allow for the boldest of looks. It's a trend that Peter Philips
reinvents according to the art of color that has always been the Dior
makeup signature. The lips are worked up in different shades of pink to
evoke a bee-stung mouth, the eyelids exhibit a spectrum that's
alternately soft and electric, a tie-dye effect sets cheekbones alive.
The Colour Gradation look offers the freedom of total
experimentation, from subtly faded shades that melt into the skin’s
natural tone, to the most out-there effects.

In a look that gives color pride of place, voluptuous lips illuminate
the face. To achieve a subtly sophisticated effect, in which the
pigments seem to be one with the shade of the lips, Peter Philips has
devised a lipstick 2.0: Rouge Gradient. Using its double foam
tip, first apply the lightest shade as a base, before applying a more
intense touch to the center of the lips.

The layering creates a melting
gradation with a powdered matte finish, which can be adjusted according
to mood and desire, and which is achieved with one of the three
available versions, Pink, Red or Purple. Eyes are also ultra-pigmented
thanks to the Colour Gradation palette. Available in Blue
Gradation or Coral Gradation, it comes with a motif reminiscent of the
pleats with which Christian Dior liked to give his dresses movement,
just as the gradation of the shades gives life to color.
